I lay in bed all the time thinking out worst possible scenarios and what I would do in those cases. I have a hammer and two knifes next to my bed.:/

It started to suck harder and harder, becoming increasingly difficult to control. The woman started to shout for help, but her screams were SUCKED INTO THE MACHINE and no-one heard her.

The difference in pressure between the interior of the car and the surrounding atmosphere became so great she was blown into the back seat and around in inside of the car like a plastic bag, her flailing hands thrashing against the windows helplessly.

Finally, she bumped into the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner and slowly got SUCKED INSIDE OUT, before being ingested into the depths of the machine. No-one ever heard from her again.

Do you clean your car out a lot? Alone?

I hate those vacumes too!!! but I hate all vacumes in general, that prolly has to do with the fact that my mom is a compulsive vacumer....

I also am very scared of being picked up, its not so much being picked up, but being dropped.....*shudders* it freaks me out

I am terrified to fly. The last time I got on a plane, we flew to our destination with me in a complete panic. We rented a car to get home.

I dont think I will ever get on a plane again. Its weird, my parents are both pilots and I have been in many planes. As Ive gotten older the fear of flying has become uncontrollable.

I have this strange thing with heights. I heard Tom Cruise say the same thing about them yesterday, so I know it's not just me.

I'm not scared of heights per se. But I am constantly frightened of an overwhelming impulse to jump from them. Not in a suicidal way, just because I want to fly I guess. In any case, whenever I am way up high, I get panicked because the impulse to just leap starts washing over me. It's wierd, and I guess kinda hard to explain.

If I ever went ballooning with wonderaz, I would need to be handcuffed to something.

I've got irrational fears. Whenever I have to leave my room at night for food or anything, I always have a bright light shined at about headlevel on me, but shined at my door way, and I'll pull the door open hard so if a badguy is outside their eyes will get blinded real quick and I can push them down the stairs before they can come in and gut me. Then I go around turning on all the lights on this floor and peering into the rooms with my fists clenched and held back incase their needed suddenly. Then, I'll turn off all the lights and quickly hurry downstairs without looking back because if I look back I have to do it all again. I'll jump down the last three steps and run into my dining room and make some noise to wake up my dogs and then turn a light on. After I know my dogs are awake and would hear if anybody was sneaking around, I go to my frontporch and lock the door, check the locks 3 times and then go around turning the lights on there, fists still clenched. Then, like with the second floor, turn out the lights on the porch and not look back and come inside. Then I look back to the dining room to make sure the dogs are still there and awake and I will go to the living room and turn the lights on, check around in there, check the closet, make sure the door to the basement is locked, then turn on lights and check kitchen, finally make sure the backporch door and the backdoors are locked tight. I do that whenever I leave the room. Once I am downstairs, normally to watch a movie, I have to keep getting up to check for people and making sure my doors are locked again.
All for a fear of bad things being in my house and not knowing about them.
I'm tired of typing for now, but some of that may be a little irrational.

Getting scared or startled.

My brain can't handle it.

I start crying - I can't help it - the tears just start flowing.

I get all pale and sweat and shaky. It sucks.

It's not funny - its down right humiliating

Just last week someone dropped a book behind me at the library and I had to leave the building so I didn't cause any more disruptions with my wimpering and heavy breathing.

ANYONE EVER BEEN HYPNOTIZED... I'm considering trying that to fix some stuff thats wrong with me...
